WineSaint
Tightly wound and almost austere, showing the signature tension that makes Sanford & Benedict fruit so compelling. Citrus peel and crushed stone dominate now, with hints of white flowers barely emerging from this serious, mineral-driven frame. The texture speaks to those forty-year-old vines. Concentrated yet refined. Needs patience. Drink 2025-2032.
